I cant think what it was like blonde, and first impressions of this color, is gorgeous. Its quite natural looking, not as red as some have gone this season and those curls!! How did she get them so nice. I think that stars never do their own hair, have a hair stylist on call. I saw Madonna on TV last night and she is flanked by stylists who will literally fix even one stray hair! I do like Scarletts color, it looks in great condition, that sort of makes everything look ok.
